PREDICTIONS LEAGUE: Notts County results update

Well the dream of reaching the Play Off’s evaporated with this result, although it ended up being academic with Posh winning away to secure the last play-off position and relegate Shrewsbury Town to League Two football next season.

And what was that mêlée about at the end of the Game? Troy was red carded for knocking Notts County’s Spencer to the ground, Nathan Thompson picked up a second yellow for arguing the case, so also went for an early bath. His brother, Louis, found his way into the ref’s notebook as Richard Clark waved the cards around as though he was in a ticker-tape parade.

Michael Smith and Notts County’s Alan Sheehan and Hayden Mullins were also booked, but Jimmy Spencer managed to escape punishment for his involvement in the afters.

It then got worse. Wes was in the opposition penalty box when there was a County breakaway attack which resulted in a second goal for the Magpies.

Sorry everyone, I have been a little busy of late and have fallen behind.

I will get the results of the Notts Game up tonight, hopefully.

I will post the results of the FA Cup final once I've compiled them. Then all the outstanding results will be posted in one end of season update.

This will include the Rotherham results, the April bonus questions, the end of season questions set on New Year's Day and the bonus Play-off questions set with the Rotherham questions.

I think that is all the outstanding business for the season. Once done, that should clear the way for a small matter of the World Cup Predictions League.

I'll keep you all posted.

Rebel.

Just five posters get a points total into double figures, and if you had the word red in your name, you did very well. At least three of you did anyway.

In fifth place we have Redgollum with 11pts. Oz ashes does well coming fourth with 12pts. After missing out on some points in recent games, CraftyPig puts in a performance that nets him a credible 13pts. What was I saying about red. With 14pts and in the runner’s up spot we have Oxon-Red.

The Man of the Match Award for this game goes to someone who only won it two games ago. It’s his fourth award of the season and it goes to ….

.*.*.*.*.*. ctown_red 16pts .*.*.*.*.*.

I didn’t make this question very clear. I was after the name of the first STFC player to come off. But after posting it I could see that there was some ambiguity in the wording. So I will award points if the name matched the first player off or on.

Nathan Byrne was the first player to come off to be replaced with Louis Thomspon. No one went for Nathan but one poster did go for Louis so 2pts to

Doesn’t look like Badger58 is going to self-destruct under the pressure like Liverpool. For the third week in a row he manages to outscore Rebel Phish by 1pt yet again. But the last two Champions League spots are still anybodies with seven people contesting the Champions League and the Europa League places.

Perth red, currently top of the Championship, might not be able to gain enough points to get him into the Premiership, but anything can happen. Bondy54 and Glosteroldboy are guaranteed a minimum 10 bonus points for reaching the FA Cup final, with the winner gaining an extra 5pts. That could have a significant bearing on the final positions.

Airframe, I did you an injustice. You were not alone in gaining no points for the Away fans question. Languishing off screen when I was awarding the points were the following

An epic job you have done. I joined in because you have to have numbers to make it worth your effort. Sometimes I thought that I can't be assed, but always made the effort to contribute because of the others. There is no competition if there is no-one to play against.

Redgollum, thank you for your contribution. I wonder were you would be if you COULD be assed?

You are quite right, any competition needs the numbers to make it work.

Of the 41 participants that have had a go, 24 have stayed the distance, although a small few have floundered near to the finishing line.

Maybe not as many that took part in previous seasons, but I can assure you that all of you will know where you finish.

I had reservations about doing the League in the wake of SapfanSTFC, but people seemed to miss it at the start of the season. I was waiting, like so many others to see if Sap was going to start the league this season. When it seemed certain that he wasn't, I stepped up to the plate.

Would I be able to do it justice?
Would it be appreciated?
Could I devote the time? And yes, it does take some time to compile all the results.

I will leave it for you to judge.

I made a slow start becase of holidays, picked it up but just couldn't get the points towards the end of the season.

Look forward to the new season.

You deserve all of the plaudits laid at your door. Thank you for taking this on board this season and I hope you are brave enough to do it all again next season. I have really enjoyed the league and to finish in the top 10 is a superb result.. (which after all of the scores are calculated I hope I still am !)
If I finish above Newbury Mike then that would be a great result...
There are one or two that I would like to spar with next season..

Get the Advertiser to 'promote' the predictions league before the season, it would make it more interesting to have more posters involved although this is a double edged sword for you as your workload would also increase...
I'm sure the Advertiser would love to have more traffic on their site if they would only promote the 'predictions league'....

Enough already !!!

Thank you once again for a great season Rebel....

Rebel, you have done a great job this season. If you want to go through all that again next, then I am in. After my broken hip, so not being very mobile, I have taken pleasure in participating. But it must be a lot of work for you.
Why not just make it a bit simpler?
That isn't a criticism by the way.
